Definitions
- This relates generally to user interfaces that enable a user to access episodes of a content series on an electronic device.
- These devices can be devices such as computers, tablet computers, televisions, multimedia devices, mobile devices, and the like.
- such a device presents episodic content series in a content browsing and/or playback application.
- episodes of an episodic content series can be discovered and downloaded on the electronic device.
- an episodic series includes episodes that have not been released but are scheduled to be released soon. Enhancing the user's ability to discover and download episodes of an episodic content and/or ability to view information about an unreleased episodic that is scheduled to be released soon enhances the user's interactions with the device. Enhancing the user's interactions with the device improves the user's experience with the device and decreases user interaction time, which is particularly important where input devices are battery-operated.

- FIG. 1 A is a block diagram illustrating portable or non-portable multifunction device 100 with touch-sensitive displays 112 in accordance with some embodiments.
- Touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes called a “touch screen” for convenience, and is sometimes known as or called a touch-sensitive display system.
- Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile outputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touchpad 355 of device 300 ). These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103 .
- the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface.
- the intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256).
- Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface.
- force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact.
- a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface.
- the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface.
- the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements).
- the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure).
- the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device.
- a touch-sensitive surface e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad
- the user is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button.
- a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements.
- movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users.
- a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” “roughness”)
- the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

- FIG. 1 B is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event handling in accordance with some embodiments.
- memory 102 FIG. 1 A
- 370 FIG. 3
- event sorter 170 e.g., in operating system 126
- application 136 - 1 e.g., any of the aforementioned applications 137 - 151 , 155 , 380 - 390 ).
- application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 136 - 1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 136 - 1 , a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 136 - 1 , and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.
- Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118 .
- Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display 112 , as part of a multi-touch gesture).
- Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166 , accelerometer(s) 168 , and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110 ).
- Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.
- event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).
- Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.
- the application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.
- Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture.
- hit view determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event).
- the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.
- Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.
- a respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179 ) from event sorter 170 and identifies an event from the event information.
- Event recognizer 180 includes event receiver 182 and event comparator 184 .
- event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of: metadata 183 , and event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).

- event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186 .
- Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 ( 187 - 1 ), event 2 ( 187 - 2 ), and others.
- sub-events in an event ( 187 ) include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching.
- the definition for event 1 is a double tap on a displayed object.
- the double tap for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase.
- the definition for event 2 is a dragging on a displayed object.
- the dragging for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display 112 , and liftoff of the touch (touch end).
- the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190 .
- the definition for a respective event also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.
- a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions 186 , the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.
- a respective event recognizer 180 activates event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized.
- a respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to event handler 190 .
- Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view.
- event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.
- event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.
- event handler(s) 190 includes or has access to data updater 176 , object updater 177 , and GUI updater 178 .
- data updater 176 , object updater 177 , and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of a respective application 136 - 1 or application view 191 . In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.

- the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in FIG.
- a detected contact on the touch-screen acts as a “focus selector,” so that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected on the touch-screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input.
- an input e.g., a press input by the contact
- a particular user interface element e.g., a button, window, slider or other user interface element
- focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region of the user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on a touch-screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with movement of focus between different regions of the user interface.
- the focus selector is generally the user interface element (or contact on a touch-screen display) that is controlled by the user so as to communicate the user's intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating, to the device, the element of the user interface with which the user is intending to interact).
- a focus selector e.g., a cursor, a contact or a selection box
- a press input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touch screen) will indicate that the user is intending to activate the respective button (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on a display of the device).
- a characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally, based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like.
- the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time).

- one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respective press input or in response to detecting the respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold.
- the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., a “down stroke” of the respective press input).
- the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input).
- the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90% or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold).
- the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90% or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold.

- the suggested episode is displayed at its respective position in the list of downloaded episodes (e.g., such as in FIG. 6 T ), for example, without requiring the user to at least partially watch the suggested episode.
- the suggested episode is automatically downloaded in response to the user completing playback of the preceding episode (optionally one or more preceding episodes). In some embodiments, the suggested episode is automatically downloaded in response to playback of the preceding episode (optionally one or more preceding episodes) reaching a threshold playback position (e.g., 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 3 minutes before the end of the media item and/or before the credits).
- a threshold playback position e.g. 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 3 minutes before the end of the media item and/or before the credits.
- the electronic device upon completion of playback of the one or more preceding episodes (which optionally causes the next episode to be suggested to the user and/or automatically downloaded), automatically deletes the completed episode from the electronic device (e.g., deletes the local copy of the one (or more) preceding episode).
- the electronic device avoids increasing the storage usage when automatically downloading episodes. For example, when the user completes playback of season 2, episode 6, and the electronic device automatically begins download of season 2, episode 7, the electronic device optionally deletes the local copy of season 2, episode 6 from local storage.
- the previous episode is deleted in response to the next episode beginning automatic download (e.g., as soon as the next episode begins downloading).
- the previous episode is deleted in response to the next episode completing automatic download (e.g., when download of the next episode successfully completes).
- the previous episode is deleted in response to the user beginning playback of the next episode.
- the above-described automatic download and/or automatic deletion feature is performed on the electronic device only if the criteria that triggered the automatic download and/or automatic deletion is performed at the electronic device. For example, if the user completed playback of season 2, episode 6 using the electronic device, then the electronic device can trigger the automatic download and/or automatic deletion feature described above. However, if the user completed playback of season 2, episode 6 using another device that is logged into the same user profile (e.g., a set-top box, another mobile phone, etc.) as the electronic device, then the electronic device optionally does not trigger the automatic download and/or automatic deletion features.
- the electronic device optionally does not trigger the automatic download and/or automatic deletion features.
- the above-described automatic download and/or automatic deletion features are performed at the electronic device without regard to whether the actions that caused the criteria to be satisfied were performed at the electronic device or on another electronic device that is logged into the same user profile as the electronic device. For example, watching season 2, episode 6 using a set-top box that is linked to the same user profile as the electronic device can cause the electronic device to automatically download season 2, episode 7 and automatically delete its own local copy of season 2, episode 6.
- a user can have a user profile or user account that stores information about and associated with the user.
- a user's viewing history, viewing preferences, purchase history, entitlements, subscriptions, and/or other information is stored on the user's user profile (e.g., stored on the user profile, associated with the user profile, etc.).
- device 500 and other electronic devices can be configured with the user's user profile.
- the device when a user's profile is active on a device, the device is configured to access and store data on the user's profile. For example, when a user's profile is active on a device, playback of content on the device is attributed to the user and the user's profile stores the playback in the user's viewing history.
- a device can determine whether a user is entitled or not entitled to access content is based on whether the user's profile indicates that the user does or does not have entitlement (e.g., using the entitlement or subscription information is stored in the user profile).
- a user having watched or not having watched a content item and a user having or not having entitlement to content can be determined based on whether the active user profile (that is associated with the user) indicates that the user has watched the content item or has purchased entitlement to content.
- the method 700 provides user interfaces for downloading episodes of episodic content series.
- the method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when interacting with a user interface of the device of the disclosure, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface.
- increasing the efficiency of the user's interaction with the user interface conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
- the user interface is a dedicated user interface for displaying downloaded content (e.g., a user interface that displays only downloaded content and does not display content that has not been downloaded).
- the user interface is a product page for the episodic series of content (which optionally includes information about the episodic series of content) and includes a portion that displays episodes that have been downloaded.
- the user is able to playback the respective episode without an active connection to an external content server.
- a user is able to playback a respective episode without first downloading the episode.
- a user is able to receive content streamed from a content server.
- the user interface includes one or more representations of the first set of one or more episodes that are currently downloaded on the electronic device ( 704 ), such as season 1 episode 1 and 2 and season 2 episode 5 in FIG. 6 C (e.g., the user interface displays only episodes that have been downloaded).
- the downloaded content spans multiple seasons and is organized into different seasons (e.g., different regions of the user interface display downloaded episodes from different seasons of the episodic series of content).
- the downloaded content are all within a single season and the user interface does not included different regions for different seasons (e.g., the user interface only includes one region for the single season, or the user interface does not include any region identifying the single season).
- a season of an episodic series of content is a set of episodes organized together and defined as a “season”. In some embodiments, which episodes are in a season and the number of episodes in a season are predetermined by the content provider (e.g., distributor or producer of the series). In some embodiments, a season is a collection of episodes that are released within a predetermined time frame (e.g., from September to May, during a “fall” season, during a “spring” season, during a calendar year, within a year, within half a year, etc.). In some embodiments, a season is a collection of episodes within a particular story arc (e.g., narrative arc).
- the user interface does not include a representation of a given episode from the second set of one or more episodes that are not currently downloaded on the electronic device ( 706 ), such as season 2 episodes 1-4 in FIG. 6 C (e.g., the user interface does not display at least one episode of the given season that has not been downloaded on the device). In some embodiments, the user interface only displays episodes that have been downloaded and does not display any episodes that have not been downloaded.
- the user interface in accordance with a determination that one or more episode download criteria are met, includes a download affordance that is selectable to initiate a process for downloading one or more episodes in the second set of one or more episodes ( 708 ), such as download affordance 618 in FIG. 6 C and download affordance 616 - 5 in FIG. 6 L (e.g., a link or button that is selectable to initiate a process to download more episodes of the episodic series of content to the electronic device).

- the watch history of the user includes the user's viewing activity on the electronic device.
- the watch history of the user includes the user's viewing activity on other electronic devices that have logged into the same user profile and/or account with a content provider as the electronic device.
- the user interface does not include the download affordance that is selectable to display the product page.
- the above-described manner of navigating the user to a respective portion of the product page (e.g., by automatically navigating to the respective portion of the product page that includes the representation and selectable option for downloading an undownloaded episode) provides the user with a quick and efficient manner of downloading episodes that the user is likely to download next, which simplifies the interaction between the user and the electronic device and enhances the operability of the electronic device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., without requiring the user to perform additional navigation inputs to find the next episode to download), which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently while reducing errors in the usage of the device.
- the respective episode is an undownloaded episode that is the next episode after the user's most recently watched episode. For example, if a user has downloaded episodes 3, 4, 5, and 8 of a given season and the user most recently watched episode 3, then the representation is not displayed (because episode 4 is already downloaded, so the episode download criteria is not satisfied). If, on the other hand, the user most recently watched episode 5, then a representation of episode 6 is displayed (because the next episode to watch is episode 6, assuming episode 6 is available for download). If, however, the user watched episode 5, and then skips to and watches episode 8, then even though the user has not watched episodes 6 and 7, the user interface optionally displays a representation of episode 9 because it is the next episode to watch (assuming that episode 9 is available for download).
- the representation of the respective episode is displayed with a different visual characteristic than the representations in the user interface of episodes that have been downloaded. For example, the representation is displayed greyed out or de-emphasized as compared to the representations in the user interface of episodes that have been downloaded to visually distinguish the representation of the respective episode, which is not downloaded, from the other representations in the user interface, which correspond to episodes that are downloaded on the device.
- the representation of the respective episode is displayed in an “Up Next” region or section. In some embodiments, at most, only one episode is displayed in the “Up Next” at any time.
- the respective episode in the “Up Next” region can be an episode from any season of the series based on the user's most recently watched episode. For example, if the user watched episode 3 of season 1 and then watches episode 1 of season 2, then the respective episode is optionally episode 2 of season 2 (provided episode 2 satisfies the one or more episode download criteria).
- the user interface associated with the episodic series of content does not include a representation of the respective episode, such as in FIG. 6 C (e.g., if the respective episode is not available for download, if the user is not entitled to download the respective episode, and/or there is no respective episode that satisfies the episode download criteria, the user interface does not include the representation of the respective episode).
- the user interface does not include any representation of the respective episode. For example, if the user has not watched a downloaded episode that has an undownloaded episode immediately after it, then the one or more episode download criteria are not met. In some embodiments, if the respective episode is already downloaded on the device (e.g., there is no episode immediately after a watched episode that is not downloaded), then the one or more episode download criteria are not met. In some embodiments, if the respective episode is not available for download (e.g., the user is not entitled to download or the content provider disallows download of the respective episode), then the one or more episode download criteria are not met. In some embodiments, when the episode download criteria are not met, the representation of the respective episode is not displayed.
- a user account associated with the electronic device includes an indication that a given episode in the first set of one or more episodes has been most recently watched, such as the user having watched episode 6 of season 2 in FIG. 6 L (e.g., the currently active user profile and/or user account is associated with a user of the electronic device indicates that the user's most recently watched episode of the downloaded episode is the given episode).
- a user's profile or account includes viewing or playback information, such as the user's playback history, the user's playback preferences, the user's most recently watched episode, etc.
- a next episode after the given episode in the sequence of episodes is not currently downloaded on the electronic device, such as episode 7 of season 2 in FIG. 6 L (e.g., the next episode after the episode of the series that the user has most recently watched is not downloaded on the device). For example, the user has downloaded and watched episode 1 and episode 2 is available for download and not yet downloaded.
- the respective episode is not yet downloaded on the device.
- the user interface suggests the episode next after the first episode even if farther episodes have been downloaded and/or watched. For example, if a user has downloaded episode 1 and episode 3 in a given season and the user has only watched episode 1, then the user interface displays a representation of episode 2 to download (e.g., because it is the next episode to watch after episode 1, the most recently watched episode). In some embodiments, if a user has downloaded episode 1 and episode 3 in a given season and the user watched episode 3 and then watched episode 1 after having watched episode 3, then the user interface still displays a representation of episode 2 to download (e.g., because it is the next episode to watch after episode 1, the most recently watched episode).
- the device after downloading the respective episode (e.g., after downloading the respective episode in response to the user's selection of the download affordance), in accordance with a determination that the user account includes the indication that at least a portion of the respective episode has been played, the device ceases display of the representation of the respective episode in the second portion in the user interface and displays the representation of the respective episode in the first portion in the user interface, such as in FIG. 6 S . In some embodiments, the device moves the representation from the second portion to the first portion.
- the user interface includes a representation of the second respective episode, wherein the second respective episode is in the second set of one or more episodes, such as representation 612 - 6 associated with episode 8 of season 2 in FIG. 6 W (e.g., the user interface includes a representation of the next episode after the downloaded and viewed respective episode).
- the above-described manner of displaying a representation of the next suggested episode to download provides the user with a quick and efficient manner of downloading additional episodes of the series (e.g., by automatically determining that the user is likely interested in downloading the next episode after the user completed watching the previous episode and providing the user with the option to do so), which simplifies the interaction between the user and the electronic device and enhances the operability of the electronic device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., without requiring the user to navigate to another user interface to find the next episode after the previous suggested episode to download), which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently while reducing errors in the usage of the device.
- the download affordance specific to the second season is displayed in the second portion, accompanying the list of downloaded episodes from the second season.
- the download affordance specific to the second season is selectable to download additional episodes of the second season, but not the first season. For example, selection of the download affordance specific to the second season displays the product page of the series navigated to display episodes (e.g., the next not-downloaded episode) of the second season.
- the above-described manner of displaying a download affordance for each season in the user interface provides the user with a quick and efficient manner of downloading additional episodes for specific seasons of the series (e.g., by visually organizing the user interface into seasons and providing download affordance for each season that are selectable to initiate a process to download episodes for their respective season), which simplifies the interaction between the user and the electronic device and enhances the operability of the electronic device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., without requiring the user to perform additional inputs to navigate to the desired season to download additional episodes), which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently while reducing errors in the usage of the device.
- the episodic series of content includes a plurality of episodes from a given season of the episodic series of content, including a first set of one or more episodes that are currently downloaded on the electronic device and a second set of one or more episodes that are not currently downloaded on the electronic device (e.g., one or more episodes of the episodic series of content are accessible on the electronic device).
- the user interface is a dedicated user interface for displaying downloaded content (e.g., a user interface that displays only downloaded content and does not display content that has not been downloaded).
- the user interface is a product page for the episodic series of content (which optionally includes information about the episodic series of content) and includes a portion that displays episodes that have been downloaded.
- the user is able to playback the respective episode without an active connection to an external content server.
- a user is able to playback a respective episode without first downloading the episode.
- a user is able to receive content streamed from a content server.
- the electronic device automatically deletes the previously downloaded episode while the undownloaded episode is downloading. In some embodiments, the electronic device automatically deletes the previously downloaded episode after download of the undownloaded episode completes. In some embodiments, the previously downloaded episode is deleted on the electronic device that completed playback of the previously downloaded episode (e.g., thus causing the episode download criteria to be met). In some embodiments, the previously downloaded episode is deleted on the electronic device if the electronic device determines that the user (e.g., via the user's user profile) has completed playback of the previously downloaded episode (e.g., on any electronic device that is logged into the user's user profile).
- the operation of the electronic device to provide user interfaces for downloading episodes of episodic content series described above with reference to method 700 optionally has one or more of the characteristics of presenting upcoming content for episodic content series, etc., described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., method 900 ). For brevity, these details are not repeated here.
- a content provider releases episodes of an episodic content series (e.g., a television show) for public consumption on a fixed schedule.
- the embodiments described below provide ways of indicating that an episode of an episodic content series is upcoming and/or releasing soon, thus enhancing the user's interactions with the electronic device. Enhancing interactions with a device reduces the amount of time needed by a user to perform operations, and thus reduces the power usage of the device and increases battery life for battery-powered devices. It is understood that people use devices. When a person uses a device, that person is optionally referred to as a user of the device.

- the electronic device in response to receiving the user input, in accordance with the determination that the respective episode is the episode of the episodic series of content that has been released, in accordance with a determination that the user input is directed to the description associated with the respective episode, such as in FIG. 8 M , the electronic device initiates the process to display, via the display generation component, the user interface associated with the respective episode without displaying the respective episode, such as in FIG. 8 N (e.g., selection of the textual description causes display of the episode page associated with the respective episode and does not cause playback of the respective episode).
- the episode page includes information about the respective episode, information on how to view the respective episode and/or a selectable option to play the respective episode.
- the episode page includes related content and/or bonus content associated with the respective episode.
- the electronic device in response to receiving the user input, in accordance with the determination that the respective episode is the episode of the episodic series of content that has not been released (e.g., the selected episode is an episode that has not yet been released), in accordance with a determination that the user input is directed to the graphic associated with the respective episode, such as in FIG. 8 G , the electronic device initiates the process to display, via the display generation component, the user interface associated with the respective episode without displaying the respective episode, such as in FIG. 8 H (e.g., display an episode page associated with the respective episode without causing playback of the respective episode).
- the episode page does not include a selectable option to play the respective episode (e.g., because the episode is not publicly available).
- the episode page includes related content and/or bonus content associated with the respective episode, such as a trailer for the respective episode.
- selecting the graphic of an unreleased episode causes playback of content associated with the unreleased episode such as a trailer, slideshow, bonus video, or any other suitable content associated with the respective episode.
- causing playback of content maintains consistent behavior with the behavior of a representation for an already released episode.
- the electronic device in response to receiving the user input, in accordance with the determination that the respective episode is the episode of the episodic series of content that has not been released, in accordance with a determination that the user input is directed to the description associated with the respective episode, such as in FIG. 8 I , the electronic device initiates the process to display, via the display generation component, the user interface associated with the respective episode without displaying the respective episode, such as in FIG. 8 J (e.g., display the episode page associated with the respective episode without causing playback of the respective episode).
- selection of both the graphic and the description of an unreleased episode causes display of the episode page for the respective episode whereas selection of the graphic for a released episode causes playback of the respective episode and selection of the description causes display of the episode page for the respective episode.
- the above-described manner of playing the respective episode or displaying the episode page of the respective episode provides a quick and efficient manner of displaying episode information if the episode is not available when the user shows an interest in the unreleased episode (e.g., by always displaying the episode page for an unreleased episode that provides the user with information about the episode in response to selection of any part of the representation of the episode), which simplifies the interaction between the user and the electronic device and enhances the operability of the electronic device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., without requiring the user to navigate to a separate user interface or select specific portions of the representation to view information about the episode), which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently while reducing errors in the usage of the device
- the user interface associated with the respective episode includes an affordance that is selectable to display, via the display generation component, the respective episode, such as playback affordance 856 in FIG. 8 N (e.g., the episode page of an episode that has already been released includes a playback affordance that is selectable to cause playback of the episode).
- the playback affordance is displayed only if the user is entitled to view the episode (e.g., has a subscription to a content provider that provides access to the episode and/or series).
- the episode page of an episode that has already been released includes a download affordance that is selectable to download the episode.
- the download affordance is displayed only if the user is entitled to download the episode and/or if the episode is available to download.
- the user interface associated with the respective episode does not include the affordance that is selectable to display the respective episode, such as the lack of playback affordance 856 in FIG. 8 H (e.g., the episode page of an episode that has not yet been released does not include a playback affordance that is selectable to cause playback of the episode).
- the episode page of an episode that has not been released does not include a download affordance that is selectable to download the episode.
- the episode page of an episode that has not yet been released includes a playback affordance that is selectable to cause playback of a trailer for the episode (e.g., if a trailer exists).
- the above-described manner of displaying affordances to access episodes provides a quick and efficient manner of providing access only to released episodes, which simplifies the interaction between the user and the electronic device and enhances the operability of the electronic device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by not including access options for unreleased episodes that the user wouldn't be able to access, which would result in confusion as to whether the respective episode is accessible), which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently while reducing errors in the usage of the device.
- the operation of the electronic device to present upcoming content for episodic content series described above with reference to method 900 optionally has one or more of the characteristics of providing user interfaces for downloading episodes of episodic content series, etc., described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 700 ). For brevity, these details are not repeated here.
- the operations in the information processing methods described above are, optionally, implemented by running one or more functional modules in an information processing apparatus such as general purpose processors (e.g., as described with respect to FIGS. 1 A- 1 B, 3 , 5 A- 5 B ) or application specific chips. Further, the operations described above with reference to FIG. 9 are, optionally, implemented by components depicted in FIGS. 1 A- 1 B . For example, displaying operations 902 and 910 , receiving operation 904 , and initiating operation 908 are, optionally, implemented by event sorter 170 , event recognizer 180 , and event handler 190 .
- Event monitor 171 in event sorter 170 detects a contact on touch-sensitive surface 604 , and event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to application 136 - 1 .
- a respective event recognizer 180 of application 136 - 1 compares the event information to respective event definitions 186 , and determines whether a first contact at a first location on the touch-sensitive surface corresponds to a predefined event or sub-event, such as selection of an object on a user interface.
- event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with the detection of the event or sub-event.
- Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176 or object updater 177 to update the application internal state 192 .
- event handler 190 accesses a respective GUI updater 178 to update what is displayed by the application.
- GUI updater 178 accesses a respective GUI updater 178 to update what is displayed by the application.

- Such information regarding the use of personal data should be prominent and easily accessible by users, and should be updated as the collection and/or use of data changes.
- personal information from users should be collected for legitimate uses only. Further, such collection/sharing should occur only after receiving the consent of the users or other legitimate basis specified in applicable law. Additionally, such entities should consider taking any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures.
- policies and practices should be adapted for the particular types of personal information data being collected and/or accessed and adapted to applicable laws and standards, including jurisdiction-specific considerations that may serve to impose a higher standard. For instance, in the US, collection of or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and/or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); whereas health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be handled accordingly.
